r/upholstery

I desperately want to change it to be the colour of the second photo. How would one even go about this!? Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone! Looking for some advice from anyone who’s good with upholstery or sewing repairs.

During a recent move, movers accidentally cut into the arm of my upholstered chair (fabric + some light padding underneath). It’s not a huge tear, but it’s a clean slice through the fabric and slightly into the cushion area.

I’m trying to figure out if this is something that can realistically be sewn/hidden/repaired at home or if I need professional upholstery repair.

A few questions:

• Can a clean cut like this be stitched back together without looking terrible?
• Would fabric glue + stitching work, or is that a bad idea?
• If it is fixable DIY, what tools/materials should I use?

I’m mostly trying to avoid replacing the whole chair if I can help it.

Appreciate any advice or experience anyone has with this 🙏

Hi all,.looking for the best way to treat this light wear on my couch so it doesn't get worse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I adore this couch, but it’s Haitian cotton and I made the grave mistake of trying to clean it.

I know cost can vary because of fabric, but what would it roughly cost to reupholster this in the Seattle area?
